In this study, ZnAl-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH) was functionalized with 2-Phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBSA) to prepare ZnAl-PBSA-LDH using a simple one-step method. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) result of the solution phase demonstrated excellent corrosion inhibition performance of ZnAl-PBSA-LDH. Subsequently, 0.6 wt.% ZnAl-PBSA-LDH with shielding effects and active inhibition was incorporated into the water-based epoxy (WEP) for preparing the high-performance anti-corrosion coating (6-ZPL/WEP). The EIS test illustrated that the 6-ZPL/WEP coating maintained a high low-frequency impedance modulus (|Z0.01 Hz|) after 30 days of immersion, which is nearly two orders of magnitude higher compared to that of the blank coating. These results demonstrated that ZnAl-PBSA-LDH could efficiently improve the corrosion resistance of the WEP coating. Therefore, this study introduces new insights into the use of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in the domain of anti-corrosion.
In this paper, the Al2O3, ZrO2, TiO2, wollastonite, dicalcium silicate and their composite coatings were deposited onto Ti-6Al-4V substrates by an atmosphere plasma spray system. The rat osteoblasts were seeded onto the surface of the coatings to evaluate the growth behavior of osteoblasts on different implant materials. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphologies of the osteoblasts seeded on the surface of the coating for different time. The SEM observation indicated the osteoblasts are difficult to survive and proliferate on the Al2O3 coating surface. Osteoblasts can survive and proliferate slowly on the TiO2 and ZrO2 coating surface. Osteoblasts grow and proliferate very well on the surface of the wollastonite and dicalcium silicate coating, which present the two coatings possess excellent cytocompatibility. The addition of wollastonite and dicalcium silicate into ZrO2 and TiO2 can improve their cytocompatibility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
